I'm an adult and have done adult things. I don't think that having the "adult" store within proximity to the school is the problem. I don't think that customers of this store will enter it and then lie-in-wait to pounce on minors, nor do I think that store owners and managers will allow minors into the store. No. My objections would be as follows: 1) This is a regressive, backwards-looking business that is completely unnecessary in the internet age, 2) This business cheapens Keaau and makes it a less desireable and less unique place to live and to visit --"adult" stores are the kind of thing you see in seedy areas of the mainland, 3) an "adult" store may address a need and a few desires (I mean --sometimes, you just gotta have Astroglide), but this need should be way down on the list of priorities for Keaau and you can get Astroglide online, 4) We don't want people to rendezvous at an "adult" store in Keaau, when there are so many stunning and less tawdry places to rendezvous in Puna.
Look, I'm all for big black veiny dildoes if that's what the peoople want, but my main objection to this proposed store is that it takes away in a fundamental way one of the things I value most about Hawaii: the romance.
And that will always come first for me.
How about a store that sells nothing but local produce and products, called "Made in Puna"?
I am very much in favor of Astroglide. But I am against this store.
